Cyber bullying

Start that and you'll be out. By all means start a discussion, ask questions and JOIN IN!

An endless supply of statements or simplistic questions and the word discuss is not acceptable.

I'll tell Admin and he can be mean.

Fluffy, please accept some guidance. You have raised an interesting subject but gone about it in a very simplistic and uninspiring way. Now to kick this off, tell us in your own words.

Do you think cyber bullying happens, is on the increase or decrease? Does it happen because people dare to be different or are there any other factors? Have you been cycler bullied? if so what are your coping strategies?
Have you cyber bullied others? What are the effect on those who are bullied and those who bully.

It isn't, Fluffs, but what's your point? Are we all supposed to join in and condemn cyber bullying? We could then agree that poverty, war and disease are bad things too. But that wouldn't be much of a discussion, and discussion is what we're here for.

But if you've got personal experience that sheds light on the subject, or gives us an angle to discuss where, for example, fair comment crosses the line into bullying, that would be welcome. We might learn something, or have our own assumptions tested.

But watch out for the cycler bullies, and especially the folding cyclers. They'll trap your fingers in their hinges, or bash you round the shins with the bloody thing when you're trying to get off the train. They're a menace; I'd lock 'em all up - only someone would still probably steal them.

Bullying usually takes place in a forum where the victim cannot leave; e.g. school, work or chatrooms where someone's main social life takes place. Thankfully here we are older, not dependent on the pub for work or social life, it is a place we retreat to when not doing something more important. ......and we can simply leave without even telling anyone and no one would know where we had gone. It should barely affect us (I would hope).

Bullying - folding bikes - alcoholic beverage - spelling - thread drift, in the space of about 6 posts! Pretty impressive thread drift.

This is what really  makes for an interesting forum, where interesting members can ignore the OP.

Or does this post represent recursion?

Talking of thread drift I just twigged the Zero-Mitsubishi connection.

Was that intentional from the start or just a 'happy' coincidence?

I just thought the Zero moniker was another nihilistic reference like the knowwun youtube one.

I couldn't remember if you took the zero name before getting the Lancer.

(and to be fair couldn't be ar*ed checking the c4p history to work it out)
